PPT-Basic Properties of the Atmosphere

Essential Points Heat Temperature and Temperature Scales The Electromagnetic Spectrum Composition of the Atmosphere Layers in the atmosphere are defined by temperature profiles How pressure varies in the atmosphere. Controlled atmosphere storage refers to the constant monitoring an d adjustment of the CO and O levels within gas tight stores or containers The gas mixture will constantly change due to metabolic activity of the respiring fruits and vegetables in t . atmospheres. a . very. . short. . introduction.

Section 11.2 – Properties of the Atmosphere 8 th Grade Earth and Space Science Class Notes Temperature Temperature – measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a material Higher the temperature = faster particle movement Atmosphere Essential Question: How are we changing our atmosphere? Learning Goals: Be able to identify the layers of the atmosphere. Describe what molecules make up the atmosphere. Atmosphere Atmosphere Properties of the Atmosphere Heat vs. Temperature Temperature – measure of how rapidly or slowly molecules move around. Higher the temperature = faster particle movement Heat - is the transfer of energy that occurs because of a difference in temperature between substances ATMOSPHERE Composition of the Atmosphere The atmosphere is comprised of a variety of gases: Major Constituents (99%): Nitrogen (N): 78% Oxygen (O 2 ): 21% Trace Constituents: Other: 1% Commutative PropertyaAddition When two numbers are added the sum is the same regardless of the order in which the numbers are added3 5 8or5 3 8bMultiplication When two numbers are multiplied toget Elisabeth Andrews.
